If you only have space for one appliance on your countertop, a toaster oven-style air fryer is a smart choice. The best models air-fry quickly and evenly while still providing enough cooking space for larger batches or multiple foods at once. A roomy cooking chamber also gives you more room to spread food out in a single layer, which helps it brown and crisp more evenly. That said, these ovens tend to run bulky, so it's worth weighing how much usable capacity you're actually getting for the counter space they take up.
Versatility matters too; multiple rack positions, fan speeds, and a wide temperature range make it easier to cook different foods, or different parts of the same meal, in one appliance. These features give you more control over airflow, temperature, and cooking speed, making it easier to adjust the oven for different foods and portion sizes. Just don't expect many bargains in this category, since air fryer toaster ovens generally cost more than basic toaster ovens or standalone air fryers.
We've tested more than 30 toaster ovens, and below are our picks for the best air fryer toaster ovens. If air frying is your main priority, check out our best basket-style air fryers.

Best Air Fryer Toaster Oven
Air Frying7.9Mixed Usage7.9Cooking Capacity8.3Crispy Fries80.0%See all our test resultsTime To Reach 45% Moisture Loss17:00The CHEF iQ MiniOven is our top pick for an air fryer toaster oven, delivering very good air-frying results without giving up the versatility of a full-size countertop oven. It crisps up fries, chicken wings, and frozen snacks fairly quickly for a toaster-oven-style air fryer, and most batches come out evenly cooked, with few undercooked or overdone spots. The cooking chamber is also large enough to fit a 13-inch pizza, and three rack positions give you room to spread food out for better browning or cook larger batches, like a full sheet of vegetables or a couple of racks of wings at once. Temperatures stay very even throughout the chamber too, which makes it just as capable for baking a batch of cookies or reheating leftover pizza as it is for air frying. Beyond that, it has dedicated settings for roasting, broiling, dehydrating, and more, so it can save you some space and replace several countertop appliances at once.
Toasting is where it falls short. Getting golden-brown toast takes a while, and results get less consistent when you load the chamber to full capacity, so this isn't the right pick if toast is a daily staple for you. It also takes a few minutes to preheat, though a built-in reminder at least means you don't have to hover over it waiting.

Best Upper Mid-Range Air Fryer Toaster Oven
Air Frying7.4Mixed Usage8.0Cooking Capacity8.7Crispy Fries75.0%See all our test resultsTime To Reach 45% Moisture Loss25:57If you want an air fryer toaster oven that air fries evenly while offering excellent performance for baking and toasting, consider the Ninja Foodi DT201, our best pick at an upper mid-range price. Like the Chef iQ MiniOven, this model has a large cooking chamber with room for a 9" x 13" baking pan and four possible rack positions, so it has plenty of space for making large portions or family-sized meals. It air fries very evenly, making crispy, evenly-browned food, but its speed is disappointing. While this is definitely something to consider, it'll be worth it if you're willing to wait for better-quality food. It's also an excellent choice for toast, since it browns bread very evenly, but in a similar trade-off, it takes a while to produce golden brown toast. Thanks to its excellent temperature stability, it's a good choice for bakers, too. The even, uniform temperature throughout the cooking chamber helps ensure your cookies and cakes cook through without drying out or burning.
This toaster oven-style air fryer is very versatile, with a wide range of temperature settings and fan speeds. You can broil with the fan off, bake or dehydrate at a low fan speed, or cook a pizza at a high fan speed. Unlike our top pick, its interior doesn't have a non-stick coating, but its size makes it easy to reach into, so it's still easy to clean.

Best Mid-Range Air Fryer Toaster Oven
Air Frying7.6Mixed Usage8.2Cooking Capacity8.5Crispy Fries73.0%See all our test resultsTime To Reach 45% Moisture Loss20:05The Typhur Sync Oven is worth considering for people who want intuitive high-tech features and guided cooking assistance. It comes with a wireless thermometer so you can easily ensure meat cooks to a safe temperature without drying out, and offers access to a companion app with an AI recipe feature. You can take a photo of your ingredients for recipe suggestions, then specify how many portions and exactly how you'd like your meal cooked. This model air fries almost as evenly as the Ninja Foodi DT201, and it's faster, so you don't have to wait as long for crispy, golden-brown meals and snacks. Like the Chef iQ MiniOven, however, this model's biggest trade-off is its toasting performance. It evenly toasts the surface of each slice, and its toasting speed is acceptable, but it leaves one side much darker than the other.
Like the previous picks, this toaster oven has a large capacity, with enough space for a 13-inch pizza, and while it won't quite fit nine slices of bread, there's plenty of room for six slices. The roomy interior also makes it a breeze to clean, since it's easy to reach inside. With its wide range of settings and excellent temperature stability, this model is a versatile option for baking, dehydrating, and reheating leftovers, which is handy if you plan to make a variety of recipes in your oven-style air fryer.

Best Budget Air Fryer Toaster Oven
Air Frying7.7Mixed Usage7.0Cooking Capacity7.1Crispy Fries70.0%See all our test resultsTime To Reach 45% Moisture Loss16:59The best toaster oven air fryer combo we've tested at a budget-friendly price is the Cuisinart Air Fryer TOA-70. This toaster oven isn't as spacious or versatile as the picks above, but it offers the best air frying performance of the bunch, thanks to its even cooking and, especially, its fast cooking speed. This air-frying performance makes it a good choice for anyone who doesn't want to compromise on crispy meals or a budget-friendly price. Of course, at this price, there are a number of trade-offs, but the biggest for this model is temperature stability. It tends to fluctuate from the set temperature, overshooting it fairly often, which can cause baked goods and leftovers to dry out or burn before they're cooked.
While it isn't as versatile as the pricier options above, this toaster oven still offers a range of functions, like 'Broil,' 'Warm,' and 'Grill,' which only heat foods like burgers, salmon, and asparagus from the bottom. It's also a decent option for toasting. The smaller cooking chamber helps it toast faster than the larger options above, including the Typhur Sync Oven, though it toasts most evenly with just four slices at a time. The smaller size contributes to its excellent preheat speed, too, though it's a bit harder to reach into the chamber when it's time to clean your toaster oven.

Best Cheap Air Fryer Toaster Oven
Air Frying7.5Mixed Usage8.0Cooking Capacity7.2Crispy Fries68.9%See all our test resultsTime To Reach 45% Moisture Loss18:57If you're looking for a compact air fryer at a low price, consider the Ninja Flip SP151, which is often on sale for around $150 USD. This short, wide toaster oven has a space-saving trick: you can flip the oven backward when not in use, allowing you to store it out of the way and giving it a much smaller countertop footprint. The cooking chamber doesn't have much vertical space, so it may not fit a cake or a loaf of bread, but its mesh air fry basket is about the same size as the Cuisinart Air Fryer TOA-70's, giving you ample space to spread your food out in a single layer for better results. It air fries a little less evenly, but it still produces mostly crispy Brussels sprouts or chicken wings, delivering decent results in a relatively short time, which is impressive at this price point.
It also offers a good multi-purpose performance. It maintains a stable temperature during cooking, ensuring consistent results when baking or reheating leftovers. Whether you're baking cookies or just reheating a slice of pizza, the stable temperature helps prevent your food from burning. You can use it to toast six slices of bread more quickly than the Cuisinart Air Fryer TOA-70, making it a good option for brunch or a large family breakfast when you need a lot of toast in a hurry. However, the cooking chamber's smaller dimensions make it more difficult to clean by hand than the other options here, especially since it doesn't have a non-stick coating.

Breville the Smart Oven Air Fryer Compact:
The Breville the Smart Oven Air Fryer Compact is worth considering if you like the Breville the Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro but want something smaller and less expensive. It's not as versatile, but it air fries slightly more evenly and almost as quickly.

Breville the Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro:
The Breville the Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro is a good alternative to the CHEF iQ MiniOven if you want a larger cooking chamber. It air fries well and is very versatile, but the CHEF iQ produces crispier results more quickly.
